Give up? They all make as much, or more than the "overpaid bum" Ryan Whitney. Now, you look at that list, and tell me you wouldnt rather have him RIGHT NOW over at least (if not more) half the guys on that list? Forget potential. Look at that list people! Sure, there are guys on there that are better, but come on. Zhitnik? Boynton? Derian freakin' Hatcher? I understand you guys get upset because he isn't Ulf Samuelsson in front of his net, and will never get over that he doesnt use his size. I get it. But to act like you can find a better defenseman for the $$$$ we are paying him....I mean seriously, we spent $2.5 on Sydor last offseason, and he is making just as much as Whits. Go ahead and try to tell me he is better. I know it is an isolated instance, but seriously.

I know I will get slammed that this isnt the thread that this should be brought up in, but since shot were taken here, this is where I am putting it. I will wait with baited breath for the rebuttal from the Whits haters.

I think he did state his opinion. The constant drone here about all the negatives of players wears people down. The prices for Dmen are ridiculous.

if the people themselves get the flu, that means they stay in from work, class, and the outside world. This actually means they will be at home more and a little bit more bored, equaling in an increase in the number of posts of those users.

so, in closing, i say 'nay' to hoping that those people get sick with the flu. I secretly hope for a really, really unseasonably sunny and warm day.

No matter what you think about Whitney's defensive skills (I have certainly been critical in the past), it is hard to argue that the Pens will not miss the offense that he brings, especially with all of the injuries. That, more than anything, is why this injury stinks.

I think Letang in Whitney's spot on the powerplay will help cover for Whitney's missed offense, but considering MT plays the 2nd PP about 1/3 of every 2 minute powerplay, it'll be a major blow to that unit and consequently the powerplay overall. It'll be interesting, though, to see Goligoski take those 2nd PP duties.
